		<description>&lt;p&gt;In course of hiding from reality was at Wash. U. yesterday. They have extensive programming centered around the VP debate including a panel on the office of VP the night before. The university in Oxford should be justly aggravated if there is no debate because it is a nonpartisan opportunity to emphasize civic engagement, and all, and they are the ones who have to deal with the issues of security and so on.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;George said, “(Also, he looks really pale and awful. I’m not sure he’s up to the debate, health-wise.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A dermatologist has opined that McCain (statistically) has perhaps two years left, due to his melanoma.  The patient knows this too doncha think.  If indeed that is a credible life expectancy estimate - I can’t show a source; I just read it/heard it somewhere.  But as you said, he doesn’t look so healthy in any case, but McSame also knows that he will lose badly in any debate with Obama.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that from here on out we’ll be seeing a freeforall in which laws, rules and traditions will be skirted or ignored.  Make no assumptions.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Is McCain too Distraught and Overwhelmed by economic crisis to debate and explain to the American people what clear ideas and solutions he has to handle this crisis. May be McCain is unable to handle the stress and is having a senior moment, because when you are President of the United States, there is no rest for the weary, and you are always on Call! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or, is McCain really being dirty and underhanded, trying to pull the wool out from under Barack’s feet, when he reached out to him early Wedensday morning in a bi-partisan moment, so together they could show solidarity and release a Joint Statement, however, McCain did not like that idea and decidied to bring politics into an already unsteady situation in an attempt to aid his political career, pretending that it was he who reached out to Barack and not the otherway around!  However, that was not good enough, he must one-up him and cancel the campaign all together, the crisis is so great, a sudden change of heart that makes McCain look phony and untrustworthy.  That is not putting Country first, but we already know that by his Pallin pick! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, of course, the debates should not be cancelled.  A President has to be able to multi-task, big time!  McCain’s cancelling looks more like a senior moment or that he is too overwhelmed and distraught to be albe to explain to the country just what he would do to address this problem.  Maybe McCain will not be able to answer that 3:00 a.m. phone call as a President is always on call. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain the Wizard of Oz now pretends he has a heart, brain and courage!  If so, its not working very well.  His wall of lies and deceipt are closing in on him and soon there will be no place to hide, not even in the Senate.  McCain you can run, you can lie, but you cannot hide and Humpty Dumpty couldnot be put together again!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow, MNChuck.  I hadn’t taken it that far, because I was primarily thinking about the FBI investigations of ‘unnamed companies’, and the fact that the FBI needs to get copies of the coding  used in derivitives (and probably also uncountable numbers of international transactions).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your point strikes me as astute, but I got no inside info.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah,  I was referring to the computer code used for ‘derivitives’.  (IIRC, George Soros makes a point in his latest book that suggests they are designed based on a flawed assumption that at some  point the markets have a point of ‘perfect equilibrium’.  What hogwash!  That’s kind of like saying that hurricane modeling should be based on the assumption that somewhere in that mass of swirling energy is one, magically ‘perfect’ temperature point.  Might be true, but even so it is so completely dwarfed by other complex factors as to be virtually misleading.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;McCain also owns 13 cars. hmmm think he is worried about the price of gas?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and he can’t use a computer because of his POW injuries (so they say).  Haven’t noticed any trouble with his fingers jabbing the air and pounding the podium with his index finger.  It’s his brain that he has let atrophy.  And besides, that’s women’s work.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I love that McCain, who doesn’t even know how many houses he has, is going to fix our economy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I saw it on CNN.  It’s part of their proposal to the election committee to postpone the vote!  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I like how they think it’s going to make him look Presidential, as if Republicans had any respect for anything Congress did anyway.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
